Your favourite drug store make up please!

[8DaysAWeek]

Now that I'm on mat leave I don't have the spare cash I once did to spend on higher end make up :(

So, hit me with your favourite 'drug store' products/dupes

If possible, specifically black kohl eyeliner, highlighter and foundation.

Currently using a Mac foundation but my skin is quite dry and prone to break outs since having my baby so need to change

[BusterGonad]

L'Oréal are prettty good and Bourjois.

[squiz81]

Do you have a kiko near you? I've been pleased with their foundation and eyeliner.

Maybelline anti age under eye stuff is great.

Keep an eye out in TK Maxx. I recently got Nars nail varnish for £3, urban decay eye pencils, 4 double ended ones for £10 & a lovely eyeshadow palette for £5.

[Juicyfrooty]

L'oreal infallible matte foundation or max factor all day flawless

Collection or maybelline age rewind concealer

Max factor creme puff blush

Bourjois rouge edition velvet liquid lipstick

Revlon lip crayons

Sleek and makeup revolution for eyeshadow palettes

Collection liquid liner pen, rimmel for pencil liners

Max factor masterpiece max mascara

The no7 chubby stick highlighter is nice

[purplefizz26]

L'Oréal foundation is fab, they have a few different types to try.
Rimmel kohl pencil
L'Oréal liquid eyeliner pens
Bourjois eyeshadow

[froglou]

Wet n wild cover all foundation (£5?) with a nyx (£4?) primer (both American brands bought on eBay)

MUA (only sold in Superdrug) are pretty good, I use there concealer when I need it, there eyebrow pencil, eyeshadow and eye liner pencil, all only £1 each, there a brilliantly cheap brand actually I haven't tried there foundations but I can vouch for there concealer and eye makeup.
Wet n wild matte lipsticks are amazing (£3) it's an American brand but the lipsticks are amazing and really cheap, dupes of Mac texture and hold wise.

[Lottapianos]

Rimmel Match Perfection foundation - best I've ever used for my dry skin. Lovely glowy finish and lasts all day.
Very narrow colour range though

Maybelline Colour Sensational lipsticks and Revlon lipsticks are excellent

Kohl - I got an excellent one from KIKO. Exaggerate from Rimmel also v good

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Wilkos make up is great.

[8DaysAWeek]

Amazing, thanks so much guys!

[ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe]

Bourjous Foundation.

Revlon buttershine lipsticks
Max Factor cream blush

[Fluffycloudland77]

Mua from superdrug, best eyeliner and only £1.

I use their foundations & highlighters too.

[Youranus]

Another vote here for MUA from Superdrug.

This is the best mascara I've used in a long time.


This Revlon powder adds a very flattering glow to my ageing skin!

[8DaysAWeek]

Just picked up the £1 MUA kohl liner, rimmel match perfection foundation, collection concealer, L'Oréal super liner and maybeine colour tattoo cream eye shadow! Will report back

[WritersBlockk]

Loreal true match foundation - I use as a cheaper alternative to Estée Lauder double wear.

Rimmel black kohl pencil eyeliner is fantastic and about £3.

Bourgeois are good for bronzes and blusher- I find some other cheaper brands too powdery and orange but they have a high level of pigment.

Maybeline mascara.

[8DaysAWeek]

Ah yes writers I used to have a bourgeois blush that was lovely!

[LamppostInWinter]

Bourgeois healthy mix foundation is a fab dupe for the Chanel vitalumiere(?). I've heard people rave about revlon colourstay as a dupe for MUFE but I'm using it at the moment and don't rate it.

[stripybluejumper]

Maybeline gel eye liner (in little pots) is pretty amazing. I use the black and the brown...both are long lasting. I've used high end eye liners... this one definitely wins for me.

[ElizaSchuyler]

MUA Fawn Fancy matte lipstick is a dupe for MAC Velvet Teddy.

[LadyMonicaBaddingham]

Bourgois is essentially a Chanel diffusion line.. I really rate Boots 17 - great for problem skin- and Sleek (in Superdrug) for on-trend colours etc

[8DaysAWeek]

Oh yeah maybelline gel liner is great! I used to use that before I started using illamasquas gel liner and actually I don't notice a difference. I'm just not great at applying gel liner (I have a really good zoeva brush for it too :( ) so am gonna try a pen.

Still to find the ideal highlighter though! Currently using Mac Soft & Gentle which is nice but I'd prefer something with less bronze in it as I'm very pale skinned so it can look just like very glittery bronzer on me :/ again looking for something stocked in boots/Superdrug etc.

Anyone tried the Sleek makeup contour kit?

[EstelleRoberts]

NYX is great, especially the lip products. Lipsticks, soft matte lip creams, lip lingerie and pencils all great. Can be got at some larger Boots and from Boots online.

[MetalLaLa]

Another one who loves the Maybelline gel eyeliner and also a recent convert to the Lash Sensastional mascara, best I've ever used! With the eyeliner I do use the Real Techniques silicone liner brush (black and purple) I find it just glides on so easily. Also use No7 Stay Perfect foundation and Rimmel matte powder. Apart from my foundation I do buy my makeup from Amazon as it's normally half the price of Boots.

[joangray38]

I like essence sold at Wilkos. The eye palettes are great.

[avamiah]

I use Clarins tinted moisturiser but I use Rimmel Long lash mascara and eyeliner and lipstick but I can't find a better blusher than my one from Mac.
The blusher and tinted moisturiser lasts me ages so it's worth the extra couple of pounds and I save money on the lipstick and mascara and eyeliner but they are in my opinion as good as and even better than the "Top"brands.
Hope this helps.
